I haven't seen the Matador--maybe I will after reading this thread.

Sometimes I think critics fail to evaluate a movie on its own terms--and thus fail to predict what that movie's audiences will think of it. "V for Vendetta," "The Matrix," "X-Men," etc. are all examples of this. Films generally have their own specific criteria for success, and it's not always being the next Citizen Kane.
